Summary and recommendation
Procore, the construction management platform, does not support SCIM provisioning on any plan. While Procore offers SAML 2.0 SSO integration with identity providers like Okta and Entra ID, this only handles authentication—all users must still be manually created in Procore's Directory tool before they can authenticate via SSO. This creates a significant operational burden for construction companies managing large, distributed workforces across multiple job sites and projects.
The lack of automated provisioning becomes particularly problematic in construction environments where teams frequently change based on project phases, contractor assignments, and seasonal workforce fluctuations. Without SCIM, IT teams must manually onboard and offboard workers, subcontractors, architects, and project managers—a time-intensive process that increases security risks and compliance gaps when employees retain access to project data after role changes or project completion.
The strategic alternative
Procore has no native SCIM. Automate offboarding, user access reviews, and license workflows across every app, including the ones without APIs. We maintain the integration layer underneath. You focus on judgment, not plumbing.

The cost of not automating
Without SCIM (or an alternative like Stitchflow), your IT team manages Procore accounts manually. Here's what that costs:
The Procore pricing problem
Procore gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.
Tier comparison
| Plan | Price | SSO | SCIM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | From $375/mo (ACV-based) | ||
| Enterprise | $4,500-$25,000+/yr (ACV-based) |
Pricing and provisioning options
| Plan | Pricing | SCIM | SSO |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | From $375/mo (ACV-based) | ❌ No SCIM | ✓ SAML 2.0 |
| Enterprise | $4,500-$25,000+/yr (ACV-based) | ❌ No SCIM | ✓ SAML 2.0 |
Key constraint: Users must be manually created in Procore's Directory tool before they can use SSO. There's no just-in-time provisioning or automated account creation.
What this means in practice
For construction companies, this creates several operational challenges:
Real-world impact: A general contractor managing 10 active projects with 50+ workers each would need to manually provision 500+ accounts, then manually deprovision them as projects complete.
Additional constraints
Summary of challenges
- Procore does not provide native SCIM at any price tier
- Organizations must rely on third-party tools or manual provisioning
- Our research shows teams manually provisioning this app spend significant hidden costs annually
What Procore actually offers for identity
SAML SSO (All plans)
Procore supports SAML 2.0 integration with identity providers:
| Setting | Details |
|---|---|
| Protocol | SAML 2.0 |
| Supported IdPs | Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, generic SAML |
| Initiation | Both SP-initiated and IdP-initiated |
| User requirement | Accounts must exist in Directory before SSO login |
Critical limitation: Procore's SSO requires pre-existing user accounts. Users must be manually created in the Directory tool before they can authenticate via SSO.
Third-party provisioning options
Since Procore lacks native SCIM, several third-party solutions exist:
| Provider | Method | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Aquera connector | API-based sync | User creation, updates, deactivation |
| Okta integration | Limited API | Basic user management via OIN app |
| Custom API scripts | Procore API | Requires development resources |
The reality: These third-party solutions add complexity, additional licensing costs, and another vendor relationship to manage. None provide the seamless automation that native SCIM delivers.
What's missing
For construction teams managing distributed workforces across multiple job sites, Procore's manual provisioning creates significant operational overhead:
The unlimited user model helps with seat costs but doesn't solve the fundamental automation gap.
What IT admins are saying
Community sentiment on Procore's user management reflects frustration with manual processes that don't scale for construction teams:
- No SCIM support means every user must be manually created in the Directory tool
- Pricing opacity requires sales conversations before understanding true costs
- SSO authentication without automatic provisioning creates two-step onboarding
- Large distributed workforces make manual user lifecycle management impractical
Users must exist in Directory before SSO login.
Do I need to create Procore user accounts if our company implements SSO? Yes, user accounts must be created in the Company Directory tool prior to SSO authentication.
The recurring theme
Construction companies love Procore's unlimited user model but hate that every project manager, contractor, and field worker must still be manually added to the system. With high turnover and project-based teams, IT admins spend significant time on basic user management instead of strategic work.
The decision
| Your Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Small construction team (<20 users) | Manual management via Directory tool is workable |
| Single project with stable workforce | Manual provisioning acceptable for short-term needs |
| Multi-project contractor (50+ users) | Use Stitchflow: automation essential for distributed teams |
| Large construction company with high turnover | Use Stitchflow: automation critical for lifecycle management |
| Enterprise with compliance requirements | Use Stitchflow: automated audit trails required for SOX/governance |
The bottom line
Procore's unlimited user model helps with cost predictability, but the complete lack of SCIM support creates operational headaches for larger construction companies managing distributed workforces across multiple job sites. For organizations that need automated provisioning without the manual overhead of managing field workers and contractors, Stitchflow delivers the automation Procore can't.
